I would have said that this is absolutely the case, even without the study. |

Do you really think so? If that's the case then sign me up. In general, I'd say that the poor have a lot more public interaction than the rich, like the article suggests. More time and experience to familiarize yourself with others. |

I dunno, I tend to think that the really wealthy tend to be self absorbed and uncaring of their impact on other people's lives, which can make it easier to get wealthy off of other people... but that's just a hunch. |

HOLY CARP!!!

Clearly the poor should be studied and dissected, to try to determine by what magicks they possess such powers of "empathy". The rich will then develop technology to surgically harvest such "empathy" from the poor on a large scale. Armed thusly with money and the harvested empathy of the poor, the rich will RULE THE GALAXY!!!! |
| As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good? | |

HOLY CARP!!!

I went to an amazing presentation a couple weeks ago called "Bridges Out of Poverty". It was a really eye opening look at the difference between the mind set of the generational poor v. middle class. They are doing amazing work to help the poor get out. One of the things they talk about is how the generational poor value relationships above all else. The middle class value achievement above all else. The talk had a huge impact on me and how I think about some of the kids I teach. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I just love sweeping generalizations based on studies likely designed to produce a given result. Achievement sometimes requires choosing goals over personal desires. If you are not trying to accomplish anything you don't have to make those choices. It in no way means you value one thing over the other, simply that a productive life entails competing factors. |

The poor are more than happy to mow my lawn, cook my food, clean my house, and wash my cars. They should be pleased for the opportunity.

About those sweeping generalizations...
I thought we were talking about rich and poor people. Last time I checked, both rich and poor alike have a decent enough opportunity to be productive or not productive. And doesn't choosing goals over personal desires, by definition, mean you value those goals over your personal desires? |

Yeah, mine keep running with high blood pressure and stroke out just after 50. They don't make 'em like they used to.
